Fifty million to pay for leases. There are also contributions to support road passenger transport companies that have invested to renovate the vehicle fleet as part of the decrees – three in all – signed by the Minister of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility, Enrico Giovannini, to give oxygen to some categories particularly affected by the health emergency. The Italian Tourist Bus Committee played a fundamental role in the result. Putting to good use a considerable commitment that has led – in practice – to the variation of a regulation which, if not modified compared to the original one, would have effectively cut the sector out of the refreshment points.
Specifically, for 2020, € 50 million are allocated to rental service companies with driver for the reimbursement of loan installments or leases with maturity between 23 February and 31 December 2020 for the purchases of vehicles of the same categories made starting from January 1, 2018. Grants, up to a maximum of 1.8 million per company, can be granted provided that the company was not already in economic difficulty as of December 31, 2019.
“This is an extremely important result for us – says the President of the Italian Tourist Bus Committee, Riccardo Verona -. If this money had not arrived – continues Verona – for many companies the financial stress that has been affecting the sector for the past two years would have reappeared. We are grateful to the Government – concludes Verona -, to which we have addressed with numerous letters and initiatives, for having made this important measure concrete, which is highly anticipated by companies in the sector ”. On a numerical level, the new buses (i.e. registered starting from 2018) in service at the more than six thousand companies in the sector in Italy are just under twenty percent out of a total of about 25 thousand vehicles. In real terms, about four thousand new buses, for which Italian companies will have to pay the leasing installments again.
